What affect does the wind have on the fish? If the boating weren't so difficult, would you be out there fishing?

Your question is a little confusing.I think the wind affects them when they are in a foot of water.The wind don't stop me,I can only fish weekends so I will do whatever it takes and try to do it safely.

Even if the wind weren't blowing with the amount of boats moving around you have a man made wave action that the fish are some what used to.I think your better days fishing come from when you have negative weather such as rain, wind etc. because it cuts down on boat traffic and disturbing the fish.High pressure can effect fish if they are deeper due to the pressure on their swim bladders that keeps them up right. Low pressure fronts are what I look for and sometime that means rain, wind,clouds.But I will fish anytime I get a chance. I just prefer due to cost to look for optimal days.

Thanks SlabLapper, I will pay attention to barometric pressure. I'm asking all this because I bank fish and the wind doesn't bother me that much, I just didn't know how the fish felt about it. My work schedule allows me lots of opportunities to fish, and I'm close enough that the cost isn't a big factor. Still, I'd rather not be wasting my time on hopeless causes.
